Four new 4-track models provide more power to the ground, comfort and reliability for producers.
John Deere introduces its first-ever 4-track tractor, adding to its extensive line of high horsepower 9R Series wheeled and 9RT Series 2-track tractors. The four new 9RX Tractor models – which range from 470 to 620 engine horsepower – feature a large, robust undercarriage and track system engineered to provide superior power, durability, and improved ride quality, especially when handling large implements in the field.
The 9RX feature a superior undercarriage with a positive-drive track system that effectively delivers power to the ground; ideal to match heavy draft applications such as cultivating, ploughing, disking and ripping, large-scale seeding applications or even non-agricultural assignments.
The new 9470RX and 9520RX tractors are powered by 13.5L John Deere PowerTech PSS engines (CIS/UKR release: Stage II engines), whereas the 9570RX and 9620RX are using 15.0L Cummins QSX engines. Featuring cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), enhanced turbo charger technology, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction Technology (SCR), both engine makes are compliant with Stage IV/Final Tier 4 emission regulations and provide the torque and power to handle the toughest field conditions.
The engines power a large diameter drive sprocket and drive lugs that, along with optimally placed idlers and mid-rollers, work to deliver exceptional horsepower to the ground with less track slippage. The new 9RX tractors are equipped with rugged, puncture-resistant Camso Durabuilt 3500 and 6500 Series belts with Duradrive Technology for optimal load-bearing performance in the field. Available in 30-inch width, the track belts are designed for increased durability and stay within the 3m limit of the total machine width. Extra-wide 36-inch tracks are also available as an option.
Like its 9R/9RT siblings, the new 4-track tractors are available with the responsive, smooth-shifting e18 transmission with Efficiency Manager for automated control of the engine and transmission. This industry-leading transmission responds quickly and automatically in the field for improved performance and increased fuel savings.
The tractors also feature an articulated steering system and the optionally available Active Command Steering (ACS) which improves maneuverability in the field and line-holding ability, even at transport speeds of 40km/h.
Designed with integrated performance features already available on John Deere’s 9 Series family of tractors the CommandView III cab benefits from a new cab suspension system which significantly improves the tractors’ ride quality by allowing up to 4 inches (10 cm) of vertical travel. This helps to control movement and isolates the cab and operator from sudden impacts and vibration.
Other features provide superior ergonomics within the CommandView III cab. These include the fully integrated AutoTrac™ guidance and JDLink Connect information management system, the intuitive, easy-to-use Generation 4 CommandCenter display with custom-built pages which provides fingertip control of tractor and implement functions, and the e18 transmission with Efficiency Manager.
For optimum visibility even at dusk or night, as many as 24 LED Lights spread daylight quality around the tractor and implement.
The hydraulic system in the new 9RX was redesigned and includes up to eight SCVs delivering a standard 220L/min per minute of flow, or an optional 435L/min per minute of flow. It easily meets the speed and high hydraulic power demands of the large implements our customers often use in the field.
